Counter initialized 1/9/04

The Second District Police Business Association, created in November of 1992, is composed of over 500 companies and institutions in southwest Saint Louis, Missouri. This association was created to foster cooperation and support for the 2nd District police officers in their work of protecting citizens and businesses and to maintain a safer community in which to raise a family and conduct business. The mission of the association is to:

Create a closer working relationship between businesses and the police.
Recognize individual police officers for excellence in their profession.
Demonstrate business support of the police and their important work in the community.
Undertake programs and events which educate the membership about police work, its importance to the community, and how the membership can effectively assist this effort.

Important Message From Captain Robinson

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Due to the recent assault and robbery that occurred on 7/20/2010 at 4700 Prague (Francis Park) in which we arrested a female suspect and four other individuals for committing the crime, and due to me being informed that our residents of district two are seeing some suspicious individuals walking in and around the parks, there will be two uniformed officers working 4pm to Mid-Night that will be assigned to the parks until further notice. I need you not to hesitate when considering dialing 911 for suspicious persons that you see in the parks. The officers will need your help in order to watch each park when they are working. I want you to introduce yourselves to these officers when you see them and develop a rapport with them.

As of right now our crime in the district is down compared to last year. Our burglaries are down at this point almost 20%. Car theft is down almost 30%. Our major problem is larcenies which mostly consist of stealing from motor vehicles (car clouting). We are still leaving our personal items in our cars. We have got to stop leaving items such as GPS systems, laptops, purses, cell phones, chargers, etc in our vehicles. Do not make it easy for the individuals that are riding around breaking into vehicles. I want to commend the citizens of the district for calling 911 more this year as oppose to last. With your help we have been successful arresting burglary and robbery suspects on a consistent basis. Please continue to call 911 for anything or anyone that makes you suspicious!

Respectfully,
Captain Ronnie Robinson
Commander Dist. 2
